Copper Coins

There are many low mountains on the road from Guanyin Ferry to the northern county. Because of the slippery snow, the mountain roads are not so easy to walk. Some roads are even blocked due to snow, so we have to find another way.

The scar-faced man is now in such a situation——

The location where the leading carriage stopped was extremely dangerous. One zhang away, there was a broken cliff mouth. There were originally two bridges across the cliff mouth, leading to the two mountain roads in front. The mountain that cannot be climbed.

"Did you run into something?" Xue Xian vented his anger on Xuan Min's neck, and his anger became calmer. He didn't pretend to be nonchalant, turned his head and pushed open the carriage door, and asked with his head out: " Do you need a helping hand?"

The scar-faced man yelled at him from a distance: "It's okay, it's just that the bridge I planned to cross is broken, so I have to go around the mountain road on the other side..."

The leading horse kept snorting on the edge of the cliff, looking restless. If the face man hadn't braked in time just now, it might have rolled down the edge of the cliff.

"Why is the bridge broken?" An old man got out of the carriage in front, "Is it the right intersection? What did I say? You need me, an old horse who knows the way, to guide you. Bar?"

"Old Li, you are running on me again. I still know the way." The scar-faced man said, "Get in the car, there is no need to get off, and if you turn around, your voice will freeze and you will not be able to sing."

Xue Xian saw that the old man surnamed Li didn't go back to the carriage as he said, but stepped on the snow and walked to the leading carriage, took a look, and then yelled: "Oh, what a crime! It has to be so thorough...tsk, can we only take the east one?"

Whether it is the old man Li or the scarred man, when they talk about going another way, their tone is so reluctant, as if walking that way once can save 800 years of life.

Xue Xian's hearing ability is different from ordinary people's. He could hear their conversations clearly, so he asked again: "Is the road to the east difficult?"

It didn't take much effort for him to speak, but his voice was clearly blown to the ears of the two people in front of the car by the mountain wind mixed with the boundless fine snow.

The two were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads and shouted at Xue Xian, "It's okay, don't worry, it's just that the road to the east has to be detoured, and there are always gravels on your body, but if you are careful, you can walk."

"Are you all right?" Jiang Shining in the car still looked worried.

Through the fine snow, Xue Xian glanced at the expressions of the two people in front of the car from afar, squinted his eyes and shook his head slowly, and said, "There is nothing wrong with those two faces, but...it's hard to say, let's go with them first Bar."

Xuan Min who was beside him who rarely spoke opened the curtain: "It's okay, I'll watch."

His voice was calm and calm, which inexplicably reassured everyone in the car.Even Xue Xian, who was always thimble with him these days, had to admit that this bald donkey, if nothing else, could at least solve troubles.

As soon as this thought flashed through this old man's mind, he fell silent in a rather wordless way: ...how could he use the word "handy" to describe this bald donkey...

After all, no matter how it sounds, these words are used to describe your own possessions - you have to hold it in your hand before you can take it out, right?

Xue Xian pawed at the car door expressionlessly, thought for a moment, and felt that he had probably taken the wrong rat poison.

But the bald donkey is just a mere mortal, and when he returns to normal, he can easily play with him in the palm of his hand as long as he is a real dragon.so……

Not to mention holding it in your hand, even if you put it in your mouth, it's just a matter of opening and closing your mouth, what's the matter!

The ancestor thought shamelessly, and immediately became confident.

He himself acted out a big scene of human and dragon fighting in his mind, and at the end he gave Xuan Min in the car a lukewarm look.

Xuan Min, who knew nothing about his mind, was taken aback.

He has always been cold-tempered, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to the so-called winks and expressions of others.He thought that this ancestor was really hot and angry, seeing that no one was pleasing to the eye, and he didn't intend to add fuel to the flames, so he only glanced at it, and then continued to look outside the curtain.

To some extent, his move is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire in another sense.

When Xue Xian saw him looking so cold and unmelted by frost and snow, his hands itched inexplicably, and it was so itchy that he wanted to fight him directly.Although he himself felt that this reason was a bit unreasonable, after all, it was not the first day he knew Xuan Min, and he should have gotten used to his lukewarm appearance of staying calm and making trouble with others, but it was just... not so comfortable.

It's as if true qi has been swimming around in the veins, but suddenly gets stuck in a certain place. There is no serious illness or pain, but it is not smooth.

The heat in the body re-transpirates into a new wave, which turns up layer after layer like a river wave, and it doesn't take long to ease each time, as if there is no end to it.

annoying.

The scarfaced man grabbed the reins, trying to lead the lead horse to the bridge to the east.But the horse was even more irritable than Xue Xian, snorting and neighing one after another, turning back and forth on the edge of the cliff, but refused to take a step forward.

"It's been beaten, lied to, coaxed, why don't you want to take a step forward? It's not like this before, it's weird." Seeing this, old man Li muttered.

"It's very difficult to handle today. Don't they all say that horses have spirituality? Maybe they were shocked just now and feel that the road ahead is dangerous, so they don't want to go." The scar-faced man said something, but he still patted the horse. The horse's neck was rubbed hard and soft, which made the horse reluctantly take a step forward.

The wheels started to move slowly, and old man Li hurried back to the carriage where he was staying, but somehow his expression was always a bit dazed and worried.Before getting into the car, he happened to raise his eyes and saw Xue Xian, so he temporarily suppressed his expression and said comfortingly: "It's okay, there is some delay because the horse refuses to run, it will be fine when the car moves."

The temporary accident on the road seemed to be resolved in this way. It was indeed a bit troublesome, but it was much better than what Jiang Shining and the others were faintly worried about.

Xue Xian nodded to Old Man Li as a greeting, and when the car door was closed, he sat there with his arms folded.He had no intention of continuing to vent his anger on Xuan Min, and he did not open his mouth to speak, appearing extraordinarily lazy.

The bridge that the scar-faced man was walking on was actually wider than the broken one. The donkey-horse cart rolled slowly over it, and there was still a side left, which seemed less dangerous.

Since entering this mountain path, the leading horse has become a bit worse than before, always stopping and going.

From time to time, you can hear comfort and reprimand in different ways from the front.The neighing of impatient horses, the screeching of wheels on the snow, and the occasional sound of whips are intertwined and mixed together. The deeper you go, the more uneasy you feel.

"It's really all right? Why can't I calm down at all?" Jiang Shining was sitting on pins and needles in the car, his face was full of sorrow, his usual slow look looked like a different person.

He felt worried for a while, and seemed to be belatedly aware that something was wrong with his state, he said hesitantly, "Why have I been in such a panic since I entered this mountain?"

"It's cloudy." Xue Xian said without any ups and downs.

He usually speaks with a bit of tone, either mocking or teasing, his emotions are rich and varied, and he can't stop listening to him.

At present, this kind of tone without any emotion is extremely rare in others, and it makes people feel that the atmosphere is inexplicably wrong.

Jiang Shining felt that right now he had better shut up and not talk, so as not to offend that ancestor.However, Xue Xian's concise words aroused even more uneasiness in him.

What is Yin Qi?

Xue Xian didn't speak, but Lu Nianqi touched the wooden branch in his hand, and said something more: "If I remember correctly, the boatman said that the earthquake in Anqing Mansion collapsed the mountain."

"Huh?" Jiang Shining turned to look at him.

Lu Nianqi turned his head expressionlessly, and said quietly to him, "Do you think some people were crushed to death on the mountain?"

Jiang Shining: "..."

This kid didn't know if he was deliberately scary or something, such a sentence made him feel like he was telling a ghost story.

Shizhang looked like he was about to cry again, "How old is your child? Don't scare people like others!"

Lu Nianqi rolled his restrained eyes, and silently touched his wooden branch.

Xue Xian's palm was so hot that it was almost hot, but he still sat there motionless, still half-closed his eyes lazily, and didn't intend to be a monster anymore, but made the other people in the carriage a little uncomfortable. big habit.

The carriage fell into silence for a while, maybe it was Jiang Shining's illusion, he felt that the silence was a bit overwhelming...

This mountain road was walking extremely slowly, and I didn't know what happened to the horse. At first, I occasionally ran two steps, then it turned into a walk, and then it turned into a move...

About half an hour passed before the ink stains reached halfway up the mountain.

Xuan Min kept lifting the curtain with his fingers, and looked out of the car calmly. He didn't say a word, and Jiang Shining and the others felt a little more at ease.

Xue Xian's palm was actually very uncomfortable, it could not even be described as hot.He lowered his eyes halfway, and he didn't have the slightest intention to touch something to dissipate heat.

Once the annoying thoughts are gone, everything will be a bit dull.

The heat is not completely unbearable, love it or not.

He hummed indifferently.

Just when the excruciating burning sensation began to creep along his wrist to other parts, a slightly thinner palm suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Xue Xian froze for a moment, raised his eyelids and looked around.Seeing Xuan Min holding the edge of the curtain between the two middle fingers of his right hand, his eyes didn't move at all, he was still looking out of the car as calmly as water, but his left hand was spread out in front of Xue Xian, palm up.

For some reason, Xue Xian's heart skipped a beat.However, he quickly regained his composure, and subconsciously said in that cool tone again, "Why are you showing your hand all of a sudden?"

Xuan Min finally withdrew his gaze briefly, and glanced at his hands that were clasped around his arms, "Don't you need to borrow something to dissipate heat?"

After he finished speaking, he looked out of the car with a calm expression, but his palm was still spread out in front of Xue Xian, and he didn't take it back.

The qi that was blocked suddenly flowed unimpeded.

Xue Xian took the last bit of airs and looked down at the palm, biting the tip of his tongue, frowning and meditating for a moment, seemingly coldly.Then he picked his chin, and said in a reluctant tone: "Okay, it's rare for you to speak back humanly... Then I won't be polite."

As soon as he said this, he shamelessly stretched out two paws, one grabbed the palm of Xuan Min's hand to cool him off, and the other pushed his nose up to greet Xuan Min's face.

He was pushed back by Xuan Min.

Xue Xian was sighing comfortably all over his body, dissipating his heat, when he looked at Xuan Min outside the car, he suddenly frowned.

"What?" Xue Xian saw his expression as soon as he raised his head, and simply passed Xuan Min to see through the gap in the curtain.

The mountain road is curved. From their angle, they can just see that on the shorter mountain road, there is a pile of rubble that has fallen from the mountain, blocking a long section of the road. thing……

"Why do I think that what's pressing... is a carriage? There's no one else in the carriage?!" Seeing this, Jiang Shining couldn't help but raise his head to look.His position was really inconvenient, and he almost broke his neck to see some corners.

"It's a carriage..." Xue Xian replied, and said quietly, "Look again, does that carriage look familiar to you?"

Jiang Shining was startled.He stayed for a moment, and suddenly understood why Xue Xian told them not to get too close to the scar-faced man and the others——

"You mean...they...they all..."

"Hush—" Xue Xian interrupted him, "When you meet such a person, a certain word is taboo, it's hard to say it, and you wake up as soon as you say it."

He paused, then added, "Let's not let them see..."

Xue Xian paused for a while, then raised his chin outside the curtain, "Otherwise, there's no need to stop."

However, the carriage has already gone there. There is only one road up and down the mountain, and the mountain road is also narrow, so there is no way to turn back halfway.

"How could this not happen?!" Jiang Shining's heart went cold.
